Tips for Success in 2024

My Secret Hack to Life…

As the New Year approaches, you are likely thinking about what the next chapter looks like for you.

Who will you become? Where will you go? What do you want to get out of your life?

Every single year I recap my year and look at what worked and what didn’t work. I wanted to share what’s worked for me in my life to achieve my own version of success and give you my best tips to find success and happiness in 2024.

These are my lessons learned and rules that I live by religiously. 

10 Tips on How to Live your Best Life in 2024

1. Be True to Yourself and What You Really Want

I’ve made many decisions in my life that were made with others in mind. I made them to either impress someone, prove something to someone, or try to make someone happy. I’ve found out that the best thing to do what really makes you happy and you believe in your heart is right for you. When you do what is in the best interest of you and your journey, you will be able to benefit more people in the long run.

2. Time is Valuable

The amount of time we have here on earth is unknown. We could die today, or we could live to 150 or beyond. It’s hard to say. With Technology, I believe we will be able to upload our Minds to the "cloud" and be able to have our thoughts and knowledge contained for 100s of years. But one thing is for sure, I will choose to meet my maker one day. Knowing that I will eventually die is what drives me to make the most of my time here while living on earth. I choose to live a life of growth, adventures, and doing things most would see as crazy. Doing the things that make me happy. If you don’t go after your wildest dreams, you will regret one day. Use your time wisely and spend it on things that make you happy.

3. Relationships are Key to Success

You must have the right significant other in your life. They will make your life better, or they will make your life worse. Choose wisely. Who you surround yourself with on a regular basis will determine the results you get and your own happiness. Be around friends, family, mentors, and business associates that add value to you and make you a better person, not bring you down. Get rid of all the toxic relationships in your life, otherwise, your life will be toxic and unhappy.

4. Surrender to Situations.

You don’t have to always be right, even if you're right.

Fighting about something or putting anger towards something won’t help the situation. Kindness and collaboration will resolve your issues. If someone does harm to you or even puts you through difficult situations with your business, it’s not worth trying to get them back, or even proving that you're right and they're wrong. I’ve learned to be at peace with situations I’m not happy with. Surrender to it and let go of it. Put it past you and never look back. The desire to always be right could lead to many negative outcomes and a hard road ahead.

5. Stay Healthy

If you aren’t healthy, nothing else matters in life. Spend time on yourself. Eat right, exercise, educate yourself, and have fun. Exercise has been a HUGE component to my happiness and staying sane during undesirable outcomes that I have faced over the years. Exercise also allows me to perform at my peak in all areas of my life.

6. Invest in More Assets and Fewer Liabilities

It took me many years to figure this out. I used to spend money on stupid things and extend myself out further than I should have. I’ve acted as the high roller and paid people’s dinner tabs, and have purchased material things that weren’t necessary. When I spend money now, I ask myself “Is this an asset to me and will it make me money?” Spend Your Money Wisely.

7. Stop Comparing Your Success and Results to Others

With social media, it makes it easy to go online and look at other people who are doing amazing things and it makes us wonder why we aren’t getting the same results. I’m guilty of this. Instead of comparing your results to others, compare your own results over time and see how you can get better. Work to make yourself better, day in and day out. If you focus on beating the person in the mirror every day, you will get the results you are searching for. Plus, just because you see something online, it doesn’t mean it’s actually real. There is a lot of fake BS online today, you shouldn’t believe everything you see.

8. Enjoy the Journey

It’s easy for us to get caught up in our goals and only focusing on the Wins and end result. If you don’t enjoy the journey, your end result will be a disappointment. 99% of our life is the journey. The daily tasks we do to get to the end result. If you don’t enjoy the process of getting to the end goal, then you will be very unhappy when you reach the finish line. The more you enjoy the journey, the more you will enjoy the finish lines, and the happier you will be.

9. Live Outside of Your Comfort Zone

Push yourself outside your comfort zone on a regular basis. When you do that, you grow and learn. Yes, you will have temporary defeats but those are necessary if you want to achieve massive success. If you aren’t challenging yourself in life, you will live an unhappy life that is filled with disappointment in the long run.

10. Share Your Story

We all have a story.  I’ve found out that when you share it, it inspires others and helps you grow as well. Share who you are, what you have went through, and what you are doing in your life. There are many people out there that need to hear your story. It may save their life. This is a big reason why I’m so obsessed with sharing video content. I think creating and publishing a video online is the best way to share your story. It’s the best way to reach more people. I challenge you to create a video today and share your story with the world.

Additionally, I want to remind you that all great successes didn’t happen overnight. Most people overestimate what they can do in 1–2 years but underestimate what they can do in 5–10 years.

For me, it was just 4 years ago I was facing bankruptcy and was at the lowest depths of my personal life journey. I felt lost and ashamed that I had let myself become a failure in my business, life, and marriage (What I believed to be a failure at that time).

Today my life is much different..

I’ve built my own wealth and have a multiple 7-figure investment portfolio with all the companies I advise or have investment in. My companies and brands are thriving.. Accelerant Media Group, Rise and Record, KBBAT, and others continue to grow. I’m doing what I love while traveling the world and inspiring others through my speaking, events, and video productions. I’m helping others share their stories, build their brands, and scale their companies.. This truly makes me happy.

I still have much work to do and I’m a working progress, but it’s amazing what’s possible when you Never Give Up.

Focus on the long game.

I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you :)

Here’s to Your Success in 2024!

Best,
